How has globalization improved the lives of people around the world?
In many ways, it has not. Advocates of globalization point to increased productivity and national wealth in developing countries, but an increase in a nation's overall wealth says little about the equality of income distribution within that nation. Indeed, globalization can create rich countries with very poor people.
In this execuBook, author Alex Perry argues that the growing gap between haves and have-nots on our planet strikes at the heart of globalization, and as this gap widens, those left behind economically have felt an increasing sense of injustice. He points to examples from China, India, Africa and elsewhere in the developing world, and asks some uncomfortable questions such as, is war necessary for progress?
This summary challenges the conventional wisdom about the impact of globalization. It will be of interest to everyone who wants to understand the impact of business in the modern world.
